The share price has dived and never recovered because this share is a dog.
B/mouth Tom...and 'every dog has its day' you just need to buy a ticket for that day, it'll come but when?
Come on ITV! £1.06.
To think this was £1.20 only last week. The usual losers told everyone to hold. That ITV could only go up.
Don't be a Nigel. :)
Yawn Tom, just you upset because you lost your shirt on EZY when our CEO was there and YOU made ill-judged trading decisions.
There is minimal manipulation going on here. It is just a silly story put around by losers who got burnt with this share. The share price has dived and never recovered because this share is a dog. Nobody wants to invest here under the current CEO.
No more silly conspiracy stories and fake bids please.
I think you are correct Nige, it is a value buy at these levels. The share price has the marks of manipulation, but the market is experiencing a retreat so all is down. If there is any truth in the surrounding talk, it will react sooner rather than later.
Have Goldman Sachs or Morgan got their greedy hands round ITV and squeezing out the last drops of blood out there.
Yes something is going on here. A few sad individuals are raising handles repeatedly to claim they are buying and that ITV is undervalued.
Despite being repeatedly tipped for a takeover bid for over a decade the ITV share price has tanked. There is no truth in the bid rumours. Nobody is manipulating the SP.
ITV has shown many times that it falls and falls bad on any market dips. With a war on the borders of Europe we are looking at a major market correction when gas supplies are cut and industries grind to a halt.
Robs60.... "I am informed that there are rumours of a takeover, I don't know if the rumour has any legs, but I have been informed that it is in the sights of a US behemoth."
Rob, is it a coincidence that two of your contacts who have both told you the same thing last week, and also Goldfinger over on ADVFN who is also based in NY.
I will play the long game. I'm happy knowing that there is great value in ITV with a low P/E and dividend re instatement in two months time. I feel that the market only values ITV as a advertising company, it forgets the studio's and back catalogue. This is the jewel in the crown, that IOMHO large streamers will be interested in. Just a few reasons to continue holding until the market values ITV correctly. All in my opinion of course.
Finger poised in readiness over the buy button
Just a bit more
FWIW....ITV are a cheap buy today on low volume. I am informed that there are rumours of a takeover, I don't know if the rumour has any legs, but I have been informed that it is in the sights of a US behemoth. What I don't get is the share price has performed badly considering the amount of speculation. A few years back, rumours about takeovers would put 10% on the sp, how times have changed. Buys outweigh sells today by a third and not a glimmer on the sp, could MM's be manipulating it. Sure the US is dropping like a stone, but it is a bubble anyway. Time the Fed stopped printing money to keep the false market up. Just bought some more ITV, something is going on here IMO.
Janus.... "however the fundamentals of ITV means it will return to a reasonable level and that (sorry Nige) will be down to its worth and not expectation of a bid."
Yes I agree, just like with the share price of all companies. A bid is a bonus, if indeed there is one.
Downward trend should be taken in the context of global trends that are all down. No idea where this will end up but yes Russia, China and local politics will all play there part, however the fundamentals of ITV means it will return to a reasonable level and that (sorry Nige) will be down to its worth and not expectation of a bid. The only losers in the short term will be those who are exposed and who have to sell, for others growth in the company and share price will eventually pay off. Hold tight it will get bumpy but keep faith.
Nice to see some new faces here today. Makes a change to the usual multihandling ramper.
This is really crashing down today. Is this jitters about Russia and potential damage that sanctions and cyber attacks will bring?
Cookoo, Great minds think alike....Your use of the term 'old gits' is spot on. I am allergic to momentum stocks because I think there is absolutely no point investing in imaginary unicorns on the basis that some day we shall all be able to teleport ourselves to Mars and live for ever while driving electric space ships. Hence my Fags, Oil, Mining and Insurance stocks which paid out even though the prices were in reverse. I am utterly baffled by the amounts being staked on Crypto and NFTs. I realise the limitations of fiat and understand the enormous benefits of blockchain but limits must be observed. A cretin in New York recording his own flatulence to sell as NFTs at $100 a pop is ridiculous and probably apocryphal. Saints preserve us. The Emperor is completely naked. At some point we shall appreciate real things with corporeal form that generate that quaint historical metric profit.
And here we are back below 110p yet again, going to be a very rough day.....
spooky i also bought bt,itv lloyds ,being solid i thought good for divi ,i partly understand lloyds holding back divi , but bt ? every man and boy was using phones and zoom so why stop divi ,and itvs cash pot ,adverts still being shown revenue down a bit but to stop divi that alot of us ole gits rely on with no interest etc , all we are is pig food being chucked in the trough for bod to suck up and boost the bonuses ,bet they havent had 2 years with no back pocket boost
This article mentions the 5% plus dividend. I bought this share immediately before the Covid Crash and have not seen any dividends, much to my irritation. I also bought BT and Lloyds and saw their dividends and share prices disappear. I can't find any announcements about the dividend other than the intention to reinstate the last 2021 payment. What is the current situation vis-à-vis divs? Apologies if this subject has been hashed out ad nauseam already. GLA.
No the real question (for those who don’t know) is who is the real Tomtit, Who is Tomlondon and who is BournemouthTom, oh I know a fantasist who makes and serves coffee
Same old, same old.

Janus... " It’s also not gone unnoticed that nearly all your posts have a singular recommendation and that is from your other account. Only a matter of time before you get booted out again."
Janus, yes you're quite right, he will be using one of his other aliases more than likely BielsaBall2021.
I've put our Troll back on filter after his dishonest activities last week. Best place for him. Sooner or later he will get himself kicked off again. Problem is he will just use one of his many names. Why on earth someone would waste their time on a discussion board that they have no financial interest in is beyond me.
Tomtit, fake news? It is published this week in money week. It’s for individuals to make their own assessments as to the truth of any publications. As I have said before stick to making coffees. It’s also not gone unnoticed that nearly all your posts have a singular recommendation and that is from your other account. Only a matter of time before you get booted out again.
It has all been posted 1000x before. For the last 5 years the Fools have been repeating the same old wishful thinking both on that website and here.
"Zero Earnings Growth" but expect "hefty share price gains".
PE and yield have been the same for years and all the share price has done is taken a dive as audiences drain away.
The advertising market may have bounced back strongly from the pandemic but ITV is still way below its £1.50 pre pandemic level. The markets hate ITV and its board. They can see the audiences that advertisers want moving to different media and abandoning tv.
NOTE TO ALL NEW INVESTORS: Sorry but this board is overrun with rampers and spammers. Please do not be taken in with the fake news they post. Many of the different handles you see posting here are confirmed as the one person. The multihandler posts positive outlooks for ITV and then logs in as other handles to confirm the bias.
Sorry if this has already been posted: from Motley fool;

Analysts expect Britain’s biggest commercial broadcaster to record zero earnings growth in 2022, but the stock is still trading on a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 7.9 times, and it also has a “mighty” 5.2% dividend yield. Profit forecasts could be gradually upgraded as the year progresses, “leading to hefty share-price gains”. The advertising market has recovered strongly from the pandemic, while the company is investing in its production arm, ITV Studios, to turn it into a “global
